Stackpole Electronics says its HCSK1216 high current four terminal shunt resistor is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy and efficiency in current sensing applications.

The company says the HCSK1216’s innovative four-terminal design effectively separates supply current and voltage sensing paths, minimising power loss and eliminating lead resistance errors. This all-metal component combines high power handling with ultra-low resistance values, making it an outstanding choice for precision current measurement.

With a compact footprint that is said to occupy 75% less space than traditional 2725-size components, the HCSK1216 can be ideal for applications where power density and board space are critical. AI data servers are a prime example of environments that benefit from this advanced solution.

Available in 0.3, 0.5, 1, and 2 milliohm resistance values, the HCSK1216 offers tolerances as low as 1% and a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of 50 ppm.

Pricing starts at $0.28 each for the 1% tolerance version.  For volume pricing and additional details, please contact Stackpole Electronics or one of its authorised distributors.
